Koreans in America: A Community Study 207 ADDITIONAL RESOURCES FOR TEACHING ABOUT KOREA 217 FOREWORD Over a century has passed since Korea and the United States of America established diplomatic relations. In the last few decades, close ties between the two countries have developed in the economic, political, military, and cultural spheres. In recent years, the impor- tance of Korea to the United States has markedly increased as Korea has become the seventh largest American trading partner. Moreover, the norean community in the United States has rapidly grown in size and sta- tus, contributing to the pluralism of cultures. Therefore, it is understandable '-hat Americans' interest in Korea has grown as Americans have become more aware of Korea's position in the international community. However, there are insufficient English- language resources which can be used in teaching and learning about Korea. American social studies textbooks tend to deal with Korea too briefly, and some of the information in the textbooks is outdated or incorrect. Few additional teaching or learning materials are available. In order to provide American teachers and students with relevant classroom materials on Korea, this sourcebook of 18 lessons has been developed as a result of the joint effort of the Social Science Educa- tion Consortium in Boulder, Colorado. and the Korean Educational Devel- opment Institute in Seoul. We hope this sourcebook will help Americans to understand Korea in its true perspective. Young-shik Kim, Ph.D. President, KEDI Seoul, Korea In the past several years, interest among educators in teaching about Korea has heightened--largely due to Korea's increasing importance in international trade, Korean immigration to the United States, and the selection of the Republic of Korea as the site of the 1988 Summer Olym- pic Games. The lessons in this sourcebook represent an international effcrt to provide teachers across the United States with relevant mate- rials on Korea that can be easily integrated into existing K-12 social studies programs. The project was conceived by curriculum specialists at the Korean Educational Development Institute in Seoul and the Social Science Education Consortium in Boulder, Colorado. The materials were developed with the valuable assistance of classroom teachers and curric- ulum leaders from across the United States. It is our sincere hope that these learning activities will provide teachers a timely tool for teach- ing about the Korean people and culture. James R. Giese, Ph.D. Executive Director, SSEC Boulder, Colorado ACKNOWLEDGMENTS This publication represents an international effort in curriculum development and would not have been possible without the valuable assis- tance of many individuals and organizations in Korea and the United States.Approval to compile this publication was given by Dr. Young-shik Kim, President of the Korean Educational Development Institute(KEDI), and Dr. Irving Morrissett, Executive Director Emeritus of the Social Science Education Consortium (SSEC).

Giese, Executive Director,SSEC. The research team for this project at KEDI consisted of Mrs. Kun-nim Lee, Mr. Jae-taik Yoo, and Dr. Yong-sook Lee, 'Alit of InternationalCom- parative Study of Textbooks. The writing team in the United States included the following classroom teachers and curriculum specialists: Barbara Schubert, E. Robert Scrofani, Pam Newman, Lynn Parisi,Jaye Zola, Cherryl Sage, John Benegar, Aimee Trechock, and Jacquelyn Johnson.

  • Dan-Gun Dan-Gun Is Named After the Holy Dan-Gun, the Legendary Founder of Korea in the Year of 2333 B.C
    Dan-Gun Dan-Gun is named after the holy Dan-Gun, the legendary founder of Korea in the year of 2333 B.C. The history of the Dan-Gun Dangun Wanggeom was the legendary founder of Gojoseon, the first kingdom of Korea, in present-day Liaoning, Manchuria, and the Korean Peninsula. He is said to be the grandson of the god of heaven, and to have founded the kingdom in 2333 BC. Although the term Dangun commonly refers to the founder, some believe it was a title used by all rulers of Gojoseon, and that Wanggeom was the proper name of the founder. Dangun’s ancestry begins with his grandfather Hwanin, the “Lord of Heaven” (a name which also appears in Indian Buddhist texts). Hwanin had a son Hwanung who yearned to live on the earth among the valleys and the mountains. Hwanin permitted Hwanung and 3000 followers to descend onto Baekdu Mountain, then called Taebaek Mountain, where Hwanung founded Sinsi (“City of God”). Along with his ministers of clouds, rain, and wind, he instituted laws and moral codes and taught humans various arts, medicine, and agriculture. One day both a bear and a tiger came to Hwanung’s residence in prayer and asked to be transformed into humans. The god agreed to this gift but on the condition that they remain out of the sun for 100 days and eat only a sacred bunch of mug- worts and 20 garlic cloves. To this the animals agreed and followed his advice. The tiger was unable to keep up with the conditions, but the bear – a female called Ung- nyo – after only 21 days was transformed into a woman.

    Alawi 1 Hayla Alawi Pamela J Mackintosh Undergraduate Research Award May 8th, 2020 Jeju Island, the Three Clans Myth, and Women Divers: Female Importance in Jeju’s Cultural History Introduction Jeju1 Island, officially the Jeju Special Self-Governing Province, lies 90 kilometers off the southern coast of the Korean peninsula and forms a province of South Korea. It is an interesting place, considered by many historians to be unique from mainland Korea before it was absorbed into the larger state, with fascinating cultural phenomena and a murky past. Although there is not much scholarship on the early history of Jeju2 and little in the written record about the island, it is possible to theorize what early Jeju cultural history may have looked like through a combined examination of the island’s mythology and modern-day culture. To gain a greater understanding of what early Jeju human culture may have looked like, I will examine the Myth of the Three Clans of Jeju Island, Jeju’s most prominent foundation myth. It is not the only foundation myth originating from the Korean Peninsula, but it is unique in that it features a key reversal between the roles of men and women in a narrative that is otherwise similar to other Korean foundation myths, the rest of which are found on mainland Korea. Myths can be thought of as reflecting a people’s society, culture, and perceived history, so the nature of 1 Note on Korean romanization: both the Revised Romanization of Korean (RR) and the McCune-Reischauer (MR) systems of Korean romanization will be used in this paper.

Park Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy under the Executive Committee of the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2021 © 2021 Jean H. Park All Rights Reserved Abstract Exiled Envoys: Korean Students in New York City, 1907-1937 Jean H. Park This dissertation follows the activism of Korean students in New York City and the trajectory of their American education as it applied to Korea’s colonization under the Empire of Japan. As a focused historical account of the educational experiences of Korean students in New York from 1907 to 1937, this dissertation uses archival evidence from their associations, correspondence, publications, and the institutions they studied at to construct a transnational narrative that positions the Korean students operating within and outside the confines of their colonial experience. The following dissertation answers how the Korean students applied their American education and experiences to the Korean independence movement, and emphasizes the interplay of colonization, religion, and American universities in contouring the students’ activism and hopes for a liberated Korea.

The southern ROK forces were not as well for war and quickly. The North Koreans would have probably secured the peninsula if UN forces had not intervened. The US interest in Korea was mostly to keep Japan secure and limit the USSR’s. Initially, UN forces were driven back until they occupied only a small of the peninsula in South Korea. Eventually, the UN forces were able to the tide and almost took control of the entire peninsula until China decided to 1 The Korean Armistice Agreement was between the United Nations Command, the Korean People’s Army for North Korea and the Chinese People’s Volunteer Army. The Armistice Agreement supposed to be drafted soon after the Armistice Agreement was signed. However, a peace treaty still has not been reached and North and South Korea are still technically at war. Also, South Korea’s president Rhee never signed the Armistice Agreement because he not accept Korea as being divided. Rhee wanted to completely unify the peninsula but would be unable to do so without the support of the UN forces. Kim Il-Sung also did not want to sign an armistice, to cease.

It also served to aid the US side in keeping the Soviets from completely annexing the peninsula. The 38th parallel was chosen by the US to keep Seoul within US control. Surprisingly, the Soviets agreed to the terms. There had even been discussions about giving control of Korea back to the Korean people once the Japanese were gone.
